The one dog in this case was also a ‘exfoundland, and the other was a mastiff.

What pure de- light to hear again some old and half-forgotten melody, or in the subtle witchery of an old love tune to drift on Mem- ory’s River out of the present into the halycon days—the dream days of enchanted Youth! This is the Magic of the ANGELUS—that it brings into your home all music, old and new. The melodies that stirred you long ago, the music that appeals to you to- day, the songs and operas, marches, dances, anything you have ever heard or wish to hear, the ANGELUS en- ables you to play at will. The ANGELUS is the only piano-player in the world equipped with expression devices which make possible the most artistic musical renditions. The MELODANT emphasizes melody notes and subdues the accompaniment; The PHRASING LEVER gives absolute control of tempo: The DIAPHRAGM PNEUMATICS afford the emotional human touch; The MELODY BUTTONS accent in either base or treble. All of these devices are patented and exclusive with the ANGELUS. Don’t make the mistake of purchasing a piano-player until you have first heard and played the ANGELUS. THE WILCOX MERIDEN, Conn.
